- 1994 Dodge Ram 3500 15 seat passenger van, 5.9L engine.
I’ve been getting a rumble (like when you veer into the shoulder of a highway and those rumble strips wake you up). No shake really at all, just rumble. Had a mechanic look at the brakes/rotors, all good, not that. Started when I would slow down to a stop (stop sign/red light) but then noticed it when accelerating from lowest gear as well. If I “punch” the gas a little it clears. Then thought to see if it was transmission so when the rumbling started nearing a stop I manually shifted from drive to neutral; rumbling always stops. So thought it is transmission and added Transmission Stop Slip. It went away, I was elated. Now it has returned. I watched your video on changing the transmission fluid and filter but not in a position to do myself and can’t spend the money($100) to diagnose at a transmission place if it’s not the transmission. Some surmise ball joints or other things. Need to travel but don’t want to risk making a small problem bigger. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks! Love your YouTube channel. I subscribed!

Sounds like torque converter shudder. Call a reputable transmission shop and ask if they will diagnose for free, they likely will.

It is definitely your transmission, sorry. It's a '94 Ram, how many miles??? When was the last time you changed your trans fluid and filter?

sometimes a product called " doctor tranny fix" by lubegard will fix it for awhile
